I’m not surprised to see the corporate media scramble to cover the scandal surrounding Bhakti Gabbard, especially when his sister is Tulsi Gabbard, a former presidential candidate with a following that poses a direct threat to their entrenched interests. It’s naive to think that outlets like CNN and MSNBC won’t slip their biased narratives into the mix, twisting the situation to fit their agendas.

The crux of the issue? Bhakti’s wife claims that his family was urging him to seek help for mental health issues long before this alarming episode where he allegedly tried to lure children into a hotel room. That’s a serious accusation and narrative shift that shifts focus from personal responsibility to a “victim” narrative pushed by the media. They love these stories; they can sensationalize them while subtly undermining the notion of accountability.

You can bet that the left-leaning media will frantically paint this as a personal struggle and sweep the legal ramifications under the rug. Meanwhile, conservative outlets may focus too heavily on the sensationalism of his actions while ignoring the critical context surrounding mental health. Both sides are missing the larger point here: the implications of unchecked mental health crises on society at large.

Instead of seeking real solutions, they push divisive narratives that distract from accountability and breed chaos. The focus should not be on sensational headlines but on understanding the complex issues at play here.

All this serves as a glaring reminder: stop trusting the corporate media to tell a balanced story; they’re far more interested in crafting their own narratives and maintaining control.
